Haha. I have a life too. It consists of doing what I want. Like: Up all night, sleep all day, eat all day... etc.

Aww, 'cmon guys, why such hate? Im not crying over a squid picture, and Im not desparate for attention. I just got the impression that people here believe admin himself made that creature, according to one of his mysterious replyes implying that, once before. So you know that kinda pushes the wrong button on me, so I just wanted to post my discovery. No big deal, really.
You should use ctrl + F at https://animetosho.org/comments to find the last comment by admin to find out when the last time admin was active. It's Yesterday 06:05 — admin
So does that mean this site is visited only by non-japanese anime fans who had no idea where that avatar came from? > Website use English > this is not mikudb no shit, Sherlock

Your avatar is a baloon belonging to HATSUNE MIKU even back in 2009 as a summer toy, and even as bag decorative. And is a signature simbol of Hiroyuki ODA /TABGRAPHICS (Hiro Kanzaki-Vocaloid producer, musician, illustrator.
He also illustrated Eromanga-sensei light novels and thats why Sagiri Izumi has the green round creature in the anime.

But still Im amazed that ever recently ppl still had no idea about Admins avatar, and had been asking admin about her avatar. She has that avatar for 6 years already. I only discovered Hatsune Miku 3 months ago, and its a fact that every single Miku fan in Japan knows Hiro Kanzaki (Hiroyuki ODA / TABGRAPHICS) and his signature green baloon.
So does that mean this site is visited only by non-japanese anime fans who had no idea where that avatar came from?

No prob. As an RPG player/fan for the past 13 years, I got good solving riddles and mysteries.
My point was that the "politically incorrect" (euphemism for "we're racist scum") group on 4chan were referring to the pantsu dev as "ourguy" -- basically, proof that the stuff HorribleSubs were concerned about was not made up.

One more thing, Im actually surprised to see another Girl besides Miku having that green thing... But still, Miku had it 8 years ago first anyway...

Hiro Kanzaki (Hiroyuki ODA) also illustrated Eromanga-sensei light novels. Thats why Sagiri Izumi looks identical to his Hatsune Miku works. And also THATS WHY Sagiri Izumi has the green round creature as a Pillow in the anime. Thats is his signature because he was the illustrator of the light novels. Light novels are the Core of every anime.

AT Admins avatar is a little thing created by Hiroyuki ODA / TABGRAPHICS musician / illustrator. It is seen in his own works even back in 2009 ONLY with/for his own HATSUNE MIKU albums and Illustrations.
I could implement If-Modified-Since support if you think it'd be useful. Otherwise, if you're interested in developing complex logic, there's an Expires header which is somewhat the recommendation. Or just use a fixed interval, cause that's way easier to code for. As for the interval itself, it's rather pointless to go below 5 minutes, as that's the minimum length of the server side cache. Other than that, it largely depends on what you think is appropriate. Personally I'd use 30 minutes, as there aren't really that many updates for a lower interval to be beneficial, but if you think faster updates are worth it, then set it lower.
I see that you're probably concerned about the resource usage on the server side, such a poll would have. I'm actually not that concerned about it - perhaps you've set a gentle default (likely, due to the consideration you're showing), but there'll be plenty of others that scrape and don't. It's the latter bunch that I have to worry about, not the former, and I doubt any reasonable default you pick would have a noticeable impact anyway.
So, just set it to what you find comfortable with. Appreciate your asking, by the way!
That's why I was asking: there's no point in me writing ETAG/if-modified-since code if the server's going to ignore it or not derive any benefit.
My aim is just to set a script running and forget about it, so I'd like to not waste resources for no reason.
Plus if other people end up using it, that'll amplify the effects of a stupid default, so I'd like to get it right. I was thinking some reasonable prime number of minutes?
The server will throttle you if you request too much, but any sane amount should be fine. There's no point polling our feeds if you want really up to date info, since we only poll sources every few minutes (hence you're better off polling sources if that's your aim).
I'm not sure about your ETag question - our feeds don't send such a header.
But the leechers do upload to each other, so the difference shouldn't be terribly dramatic (unless many of them heavily limit their own upload). Limiting your seeding to one IP will be faster to that leecher, no doubt, but I don't guarantee that the IP won't change or similar. As such, I personally don't recommend trying to do these sorts of things, but everyone's free to do what they wish.
I don't think you understand how BitTorrent works. There's no difference between sending a block to the bot directly and sending it to some guy who then sends it to the bot. Your torrent client already takes care of sending blocks to the best seeders and not to the worst seeders, so there's really very little point in micromanaging this.
At best, you'll feed the bot 10% faster, at the cost of not feeding hundreds of other peers.
Have you stopped uploading items to the alt.binaries.multimedia.anime highspeed newsgroup as there has been no Anime Tosho uploads to there since yesterday?
